Product Description


Precision made in Veritas' own machine shop, these bench chisels are milled from PM-V11 steel (Rc61-63), an innovative proprietary alloy. This metal's micro-structure makes it extremely durable, so it can withstand the impact of heavy chopping cuts without chipping or deforming as readily as other tool steels, even at bevel angles as low as 20°. Highly wear resistant, the edge typically lasts at least twice as long in use as an A2 blade before it needs sharpening, yet it's as easy to sharpen as A2 steel using common abrasive media such as water stones. These chisel blades taper from shoulder to tip for strength and rigidity, and have parallel sides and true bevel edges for clearance and minimal friction when working into an angled corner or a tight recess. To ensure that the face of each blade is both smooth and true, the chisels are lapped flat.

The blade and handle are connected with a tang and a socket-like stainless-steel ferrule that seats directly onto the shoulder of the blade. Flats on the tang prevent the handle from rolling. Each chisel is superbly balanced, with the centre of gravity close to the tang/socket connection.

The hard maple handle has been torrefied, a heating process that changes the structure of the wood at the cellular level, stabilising it against swelling and shrinkage caused by humidity changes. Contoured to fit the hand nicely, the handle has a domed end that resists chipping from glancing mallet blows.

Blades range from 3 5/8" to 5 1/8" long. The 3/8" and smaller chisels have 30° primary bevels; the others are 25°. All have 2° micro-bevels and require only final honing before use.

Made in Canada.

Customer Reviews

By Keith on 11th December 2024
"These chisels are a joy to use but they have, what I consider to be, one serious flaw. The side edges are very sharp right out of the box and will cut your hands if you are not extremely careful. Such an expensive tool should not be so potentially dangerous."
Star Rating 4
By Stefan Sobell on 29th October 2022
"Sharpens wonderfully well and keeps its edge. The first chisel I've bought that compares with Japanese chisels. So far it sharpens as well as Japanese chisels and keeps its edge longer. The back of the chisel was impressively flat from new."
